Meet the Press with Our First Selectpersons
For our season-end Y’s Men meeting this Thursday, May 21, we’re welcoming two important guests — Kevin Christie, Westport’s new First Selectman, and Sam Nestor, Weston’s First Selectwoman — and we’re running the program Meet-the-Press style. That means the conversation is only as good as the questions we put on the table.
What’s on your mind? School budgets and the healthcare squeeze? State housing mandates and Saugatuck? Flooding and resilience? Where Westport and Weston could be cooperating but aren’t? Whatever you’d genuinely want to ask, we want to hear it.
Send your questions to Speaker Chairman Allan Siegert at news@siegert.us. The more pointed and specific, the better.
The moderator panel includes former Westport First Selectman Jim Marpe, Westport RTM Moderator Jeff Wieser, and Y’s Men Speaker Chairman Allan Siegert — but the sharpest material will come from you.
Y’s Men Thursday morning meetings are in Hoskins Hall downstairs in the Saugatuck Congregational Church, 245 Post Road East in Westport. Coffee, donut, and bagel social hour begins at 9:00 am, business meeting at 10:00 am, and speaker at 10:30 am. Come early, bring a guest, and bring your questions.
Just a friendly reminder that the speaker presentations on Thursday mornings wrap up when the Q&A session is done. Please stay put until then. If you need to leave during the Q&A, try to find a spot in the back so you can quietly exit. Also, let’s keep the back of the room quiet until the Q&As are all over.
